To understand the micro-vortex structure of Microjet Vortex Generators, a plate with pitched and skewed jet holes was established. Simulations using SST-DDES method based on WENO scheme were conducted to analyse the effect of jet pressure, hole interval and incoming boundary layer thickness on the flow structure. The pitch angle and skew angle are 55 degrees and 45 degrees respectively. The total pressure of microjets ranges from 2.5 to 3.5 times the mainstream pressure. The interval of microjets ranges from 6.75 to 13.5 diameters of the hole, and the thickness of incoming boundary layer ranges from 2 to 4 diameters of the hole. The flow field is dominated by three vortices, including a main vortex and two secondary vortices which are significantly influenced by jet pressure and interval. The interaction between secondary vortices and main vortex plays an important role in the process of boundary layer mixing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
